Gu Jiao raised her hand and broke an icicle hanging on a branch. Using the icicle that was the length of an arm as a blade, she slashed fiercely towards Gu Chengfeng.
Gu Chengfeng was on the alert to see if she had brought anyone else here, and almost failed to dodge as a result.
Gu Jiao didn't show any mercy in her attack.
That meant that if he didn’t have good skills, he would have been pierced by this icicle.
"What are you trying to do?" Gu Chengfeng gritted his teeth and asked.
Gu Jiao weighed the icicle in her hand before suddenly throwing it hard towards the other party.
Finally, Gu Chengfeng risked using his hidden weapons.
One hidden weapon smashed the icicle into fragments while the other two flew towards Gu Jiao.
Gu Jiao bent backwards in an incredible arc so that the hidden weapons flew past her flat belly and nailed to the Wutong tree behind her, producing two consecutive thuds!
You could also dodge it like that?
Gu Chengfeng narrowed his eyes, "Did you... secretly unmask me that day?"
"You‘re wrong." Gu Jiao straightened up her body and looked at him, "It's not secretly, it's aboveboard."
Gu Chengfeng：“…”
Suddenly, sounds of footsteps from a distance could be heard.
The first thing Gu Chengfeng thought about were the hidden weapons nailed to the tree. He swiftly flew to get them back, only to be kicked away by Gu Jiao!
Gu Chengfeng knelt on one knee and glided backwards in the snow for ten or so steps, but he wasn’t injured.
Gu Jiao was very satisfied, saying, "Sure enough, you’re able to take on my attack.”
Gu Chengfeng：“…!!”
The footsteps were approaching closer and closer.
Gu Chengfeng didn’t intend to keep on fighting and tried to flee.
But Gu Jiao jumped up and pulled him down from the air!
Gu Chengfeng had too many scruples right now, which rendered him unable to take any action. In the end, he was dragged into the cabin by Gu Jiao.
It was in this room that Yao shi poisoned Concubine Ling.
The newcomer was Gu Changqing.
It was only when he heard some movements from the back hill that he came over to find out what was going on.
As a result, he saw no one.
However, there were footprints in the snow, as well as traces of fight.
He didn't discover the hidden weapons on the Wutong tree for the time being.
Gu Chengfeng watched him nervously from within the cabin, and a cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
"I’ll give you a chance." Gu Jiao crossed her arms and went on, "Answer my question. Otherwise, just as I can save you, I can also bury you."
Gu Chengfeng: "Oh, if you really have this ability, wouldn’t you have already done it earlier?"
Gu Jiao: "I dare to do it and show you, do you dare?"
Gu Chengfeng choked up.
He glanced at Gu Changqing who was investigating in the snow outside and spoke, "What do you want to know?"
Gu Jiao asked, "There is a person nicknamed Ah Heng in Marquis Xuanping Estate, who is he?"
Gu Chengfeng looked at her warily, "Who are you? Why are you inquiring about the Marquis Xuanping Estate?"
Gu Jiao blandly replied, "Just answer."
Gu Changqing came near the Wutong tree and only needed to turn around to find the hidden weapons nailed to the tree.
Gu Chengfeng clenched his fists and said in a cold voice, "There is only one person in the Marquis Xuanping Estate who had the name Heng. It was the deceased Little Marquis of Zhao, whose full name is Xiao Heng."
Gu Jiao: "Which Heng is it?"
Gu Chengfeng: "The Heng in mei yuheng(fine gem)." [T/N: The Chinese character for Heng in mei yuheng is different from the ones that Little Jing Kong mentioned previously.]
"Hm." Gu Jiao pondered over it for a bit and was very satisfied with this Heng.
She tilted her head aside.
She looked kind of cute.
Gu Chengfeng looked away, feeling he had gone mad. This little girl was as ferocious as a killer. How could the word cute be used to describe her?
Gu Jiao held out her hand in front of him.
"What?" Gu Chengfeng asked, confused.
Gu Jiao glanced at Gu Changqing outside the cabin and said, "One thousand taels of silver, and I won't spill the beans."
Gu Chengfeng's eyelids twitched, "One thousand taels?! You might as well have robbed me!"
Gu Jiao threatened to open the door.
Gu Chengfeng sucked in a breath of cold air and said, "I don't have so many silver banknotes with me!"
Gu Jiao: "Write an IOU then."
Gu Chengfeng: "There is no brush and paper here."
Gu Jiao took out her homemade charcoal pen and a small notebook from the pouch Grandaunt made for her. She flipped the small notebook to a blank page and handed it to him, "Here."
Gu Chengfeng：“…”
If eyes could kill people, Gu Chengfeng had already killed Gu Jiao a hundred times!
Gu Chengfeng gritted his teeth and wrote an IOU, "Is this fine?"
After reading the IOU and making sure that there were no fraudulent statements, Gu Jiao let out a sound of satisfaction, and put away the charcoal pen and small notebook.
Gu Chengfeng breathed a sigh of relief and continued to observe the movement of his eldest brother outside.
The next second, Gu Jiao raised her foot, pointed it at his butt, and kicked him out!
I only said I won’t spill the beans, I didn't say I wouldn't kick you out, did I?Raz P.'s Thoughts
